[Ynet] Four men convicted of grooming girls for sex in a case that fueled racial tensions in Britannia are facing deportation to Pakistain after a judge upheld a government decision to strip them of British citizenship.
The ruling by an immigration tribunal Thursday clears the way for the men, all of Pak nationality, to be removed from Britannia. They acquired British citizenship by naturalization.
They were among nine men of Pak and Afghan descent convicted of luring girls as young as 13 into sexual encounters using alcohol and drugs.
They were based in Rochdale, in northern England.
Among the four facing deportation is ringleader Shabir Ahmed, sentenced in 2012 to 22 years in jail. The other three are Adil Khan, Qari Abdul Rauf and Abdul Aziz.
